"after the earthquake the waves began almost immediately," he told us. "it wasn't only about 15 minutes so there wasn't enough time." (crying) two old friends hug each other as they discovered both have lived through this. a small ray of happiness in what is otherwise uniformly depressing. above above them helicopters are trying to douse the flames that are still burning on the hillsides. because the devastation here is not just in the town but for miles up the valley into areas that have never been though

, add us to your news diet and get us when you want, where you want. of course the broadcast is still what all of us are working toward in the evening but there's so much content up to that point. we're trying to help people understand that we have a lot of very sharp minds here that are working throughout the day and you can actually come in and sample a little bit of white might be on the show, maybe something that doesn't make the show. the online newshour is trying to compete with the incredibly vast array of existing content providers and websites with a much smaller budget, food foot print, but what we have is solid, reliable content that people have come to trust day in and day out. and this is a broadcast that actually allows you to have a substantive conversation about a topic. maybe it's 7 minutes, maybe 12, maybe 4 or 5. that's unheard of. so, i mean, i think that we're playing to a much smarter audience, a much more thoughtful audience, more attentive and i think that is partly because they have a stake in it. partly because they have us,se

you'll never be able to use them again. the sea water is modulated with boron to make sure that neurons aren't active. that means the plants are a write-off. the question is can they continue keeping this sea water in at a proper level to keep the temperatures safe. >> ifill: is what we just saw in those pictures, is that we have here in the united states? is it the same kind of set-up? >> well, basically our struck truers are a little beefier than that. one important point which i should tell everybody is that the diesel fuel tanks for the auxiliary generators which keep the water pumping are all buried here in the united states. these tanks were above ground for reasons that a lot of engineers can't fully understand. this is, after all, a seismically active area. the ring of fire. japanese after all invented the term tsunami. the fact that they had fuel tanks of diesel to run these generators this last resort generator above grown has people mystified. >> ifill: without the power you can't keep it cool. that's the problem

help fill us in. there is, of course, world war ii,, u but there is also a lot of history of nuclear power, energy in japan, questions of security and safety. talk about some of that. >> obviously, at the end of world war ii, japan was a target of new nuclear bomb attacks by the united states and allied forces, and that created a very song adverse reaction toward this whole concept of nuclear energy, atomic bomb in general. but at the same time, japan is a very resource-poof country so they have been importing over 95% of their oil supply from the middle east and there always is a demand to diversify the energy resources. and the nuclear power is one of such sources. in fact, japan's, the percentage of nuclear power that is occupied in japan's complete, total electricity output is about 30%, which is quite high among industrialized countries. but at the same time, there's always been a question about why whereto put those nuclear plants whether the nuclear plants are safe. there has been, like the pre

they are now asking us to help. they're expecting to see us deliver on our verbal mittment to that kind of government the organization of the islamic conference-- which is every islamic country in the world-- is asking for a no-fly zone. and we have a chance to actually put ourselves where our words have been for decades on the right side in the middle east. >> brown: richard haass, you wrote an on said with the headline "the u.s. should keep out of libya" in the "wall street journal". what's your chief arguement. >> let me paraphrase what you just heard. it's not strategic. our interest is in in way warranted. libya is the least important country in the middle east. we should be focusing on egypt, saudi arabia, iran, iraq. limited interventions would not turn this thing around. no-fly zones and the like would not be decisive. interventions that might be deice i have would be far, far, for more costly than our interests warrant. one last thing, who would we be helping? we know we hate qaddafi, our people do. but are
